I reuse my valve cover gaskets. Aside from that I play it safe and just replace them.

I've reused valve cover, intake, and header gaskets. Most others I replace every time they are removed. I would say the head gaskets are truly the only one-time-use gasket on the engine. All others can be reused assuming they are in good condition, but it's always best to replace them of course.
